Celebrate National Trails Day on the Potomac Heritage
Trail
Saturday, June 6, 2009, 9AM - 2PM.
Celebrate National Trails Day by working on the Potomac Heritage
Trail at Bles Park
in eastern Loudoun County. Come out and join REI (Recreational
Equipment Inc.), Loudoun County Parks and Recreation, and the
Potomac Heritage Trail Association as we open a critical new
section of the PHT along scenic Broad Run. Completing this trail
section will help finish the Potomac Heritage Trail from Goose
Creek near Leesburg to Great Falls in Fairfax County. This National
Trails Day event will also include a ribbon cutting ceremony
celebrating the grand opening of this new stretch of the PHT,
and a Sierra Club PRO hike from Bles Park to Keep Loudoun Beautiful
Park on Goose Creek. Please bring work gloves, water, and lunch.
Tools will be provided.
Meet at the Bles Park parking lot behind the Virginia Campus
of George Washington University at 9AM. To reach Bles Park from
the Capital Beltway at Tysons Corner: take Leesburg Pike (Rte.7)
west into Loudoun County. Proceed past Dulles Town Center and
cross Broad Run. Make the first right after crossing Broad Run
on George Washington
University Drive, then turn right on Riverside Parkway. Stay
on Riverside Parkway until it dead-ends at the Bles Park parking
lot on your right.
